UNSPSC 50311587: Organic tsugaru apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic tsugaru apples

UNSPSC 50311587 Organic tsugari apples is a Commodity code that bears little relation to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source records show school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles soliciting fresh produce broadly—bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and specialty items—but no opportunities specifically for organic tsugari apples. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the actual purchasing pattern suggests either a cataloging error or that organic tsugari apples do not currently drive material procurement volume in state and local markets.

Recent activity clusters heavily among Georgia school districts and cooperative purchasing groups procuring general fresh produce for child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and related federal initiatives. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent School District), county boards of education, the State of Georgia, and multi-district cooperatives such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. The Douglas County School System RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covers approximately 72 produce line items across two geographic areas serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending near $5.5 million combined. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 produce items (due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County School District's local-produce RFP for 24 items sourced within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026), and Muscogee County School District's ITB for 60 fresh produce items with pricing indexed to USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News (due April 27, 2026). Geographic concentration remains in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Texas (McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). School nutrition programs dominate as the customer base, with contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30 and focusing on USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and weekly delivery to multiple school sites.
